010 blocks were used in dozens of GM applications, including Corvette. Post the number from the pad at the front of the passenger's head.

if they line up good AND the v-grooves are the same size, they will work. your sizes say it is the correct water pump. your carb and intake say the crossfire system is not there. you put in a battery and turn the key and 11 psi of fuel could start spraying out...somewhere. you are gonna have to figure out the fuel system. even if it is just figuring out somebody converted it correctly. my money is on not...

Command center, yup, there will be trouble. much better to just put correct pump in place of the 82 pump. LS Style filter regulator or a Holley set up with intank regulator. Command center, well, good luck.
